do timelines matter? the passage of time in comic book universes make zero sense, just go with it. now we have multiverses, so all reason is out the window. the second any plotline introduces time-travel or parallel universes, all my brain hears is White Noise until its over. the worst comic book movies are the ones that take themselves too seriously. god. the first two Thor movies, like what was that? all the Phase One stuff was completely devoid of humanity/personality until guardians and thor: raganork/randomork (sp?). then we get brotherhood, friendship, empathy, love and actual humor.
gambit in the 1970s and 80s? yes. give me that. give me that all over my body.
lots of peeps love shirting on channing tatum's effort for gambit, but ryan reynold's deadpool was also an act of effort, love and passion for a little known character and it was fantastic. the only franchise to transition from fox to disney. people liked it. MY MOM liked it.
they're all a bunch of people with personal trauma running around in skintight clothing. if they're not a little campy/weird, the earnestness of their performance is embarrassing to me. embrace with weird and forget about timeline. let the timeframe be just kind of a vibe/aura rather than an actual point in time. i am personally living in the victorian period. i'm very pale, uptight, and like long dresses.
